There is no one better to speak to the association about ways to address disparities in healthcare worldwide than Dr. Rajiv Shah. Dr. Shah is the President of the Rockefeller Foundation, a global institution with a mission to promote the well-being of humanity around the world. Prior to his work at the Rockefeller Foundation, Dr. Shah created the International Financing Facility for Immunization at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation which helped reshape the global vaccine industry and saved millions of lives. In 2009, he was appointed as USAID Administrator under President Obama, shaping the agency's operations in more than 70 countries, leading the U.S. response to the Haiti earthquake and the Ebola pandemic, and elevating the role of development as part of our nation's foreign policy.

Dr. Shah is a graduate of the University of Michigan, the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, and the Wharton School of Business. He has received several honorary degrees and awards including the Secretary of State's Distinguished Service Award, the U.S. Global Leadership Award, and this year, was inducted into the prestigious American Academy of Arts and Sciences for his dedication to public policy and public affairs.

Dr. Shah's passion for patient care in underserved communities and commitment to public service is the perfect complement to the mission of the AAGL and the theme of the Global Congress this year. Through his work in public policy, he has carried a great burden of responsibility to meet the needs of underserved populations and advance progress in medicine in all parts of the world.

The AAGL Global Congress on MIGS is the premier academic event of the year for personal and professional development in Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery. Registration and general information about the meeting are available at the AAGL Global Congress Webpage.
